Sony Trik hands-on

Guess what, we don't even care if the official name is Trix, this product isn't about its name, its specs, or any other such sensible consideration. This is a loud and proud homage to every urge you've ever experienced to "express yourself." Whether yourself is a Yankees fan, a surfer, or a crazed Twilight aficionado, there are interchangeable covers to appease most (bad) tastes. We took a quick peek around this iPod / iPhone dock, and for those who care, we'd say the Trik actually looks like a well-formed tune deliverator that might very well be worth the $130 asking price. Audio testing in the booming halls of CES was a futile affair, but there's plenty of time before April's release date for you to hear them for yourself and to pick a tasteful cover to demonstrate your individuality with.

The one in the main picture doesn't look so bad. Worst comes to worse, if it sounds excellent for me to buy, I'll just spray paint the cover black. :)

It's pretty cool that Sony makes ipod accessories now. But it would be nice if they actually offered accessories and docks for their own Walkman MP3 players. LOL.

I like how this device uses the 5g classic from 2006.

"I'm in Miami Trik..." ?

I like how it looks like the shape of a skateboard, I suppose that's the 'Trik' in it all. Maybe you could get or make some classic Vision, Alien Workshop, or Stereo vintage deck graphics available as stickers, but I demand more: I want bass-air powered 'spinners' on those dished-out speaker grills!

that's the weirdest looking skateboard i've seen. do the circle things make it hover?

[Crazy J Posted Jan 8th 2010 11:00AM]

@comments At first glance, I thought it was one of the hover boards from Back to the Future

[Evangelion Posted Jan 8th 2010 1:41AM]

Is it just me, or does that iPod look like it's been shopped into the picture? O_o

[mich Posted Jan 8th 2010 5:59AM]

@Evangelion It looks like a cardboard cutout stand-in for an ipod

This would go great with my acid-washed jeans and mullet.

Silly Sony, Trik is for kids!
